Last year, Republicans said Joe Biden was sleepy and inept, totally disengaged as president.
Now, 11 months after Biden left office, Republicans depict him as a hugely influential figure, casting such a shadow over current events that he's to blame for every bad thing that happens.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things
to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks
in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.
Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

This thing with Trump trying to help Bolsanaro escape, even the suggestion of it, is kind of blowing my mind. I hate it, really hate it, when he does something new. It's not surprising but it's like Trump finds new ways to be the worst every day.

Sure is funny that the US president talked to him last night (before the attempted melting of the ankle monitor) and he told reporters today that he would be seeing Bolsanaro soon.
Even funnier was Trump's reaction when reporters told him that Bolsanaro was arrested today. He didn't look happy.

Pierogi is the correct spelling. The plural of pierogi is pierogi. The singular of pierogi is pierog - but that is just silly because no one would ever eat just one pierogi.
